AppStateSerializer, MainFrameBarManager & QuickCustomize

[Administrator]

Is there a way to use AppStateSerializer with a MainFrameBarManager to save the user''s QuickCustomize settings (e.g. turn off/on a BarItem)? I have tried it and it only appears to save the Bar''s docking attributes.

Hi Don, The SaveBarState/LoadBarState methods persist the positional information of the menus/toolbars only. Hiding/showing or adding/removing BarItems/toolbars amounts to menu customization and the MainFrameBarManager''s protected methods - LoadCustomizationInfo/SaveCustomizationInfo handle this. You have to derive a custom mainframeBarManager and use these methods to persist customization. Set the following properties to false and then load the state from a serialized file. This way all the state persistance is done to the same xml file.

this.mainFrameBarManager1.AutoLoadToolBarPositions = false; this.mainFrameBarManager1.AutoPersistCustomization = false; 

Please take a look at the attached sample and let me know if you have any questions. Thank You, J.Nagaraj QuickCustomization.zip
